Watching the family of three leave, Jiang Yan sighed silently and had no intention of sleeping again.
He closed the door, returned to the inner courtyard, found some ingredients at random, and started preparing breakfast.
In this way, when the golden, slightly warm light fell, and when Lu Lu walked out of the bedroom sleepily, the entire yard was filled with the aroma of rice.
"Mr..Mr.?"
Lu Lu suddenly woke up when she smelled the fragrance. She quickly ran to Jiang Yan's side, her pretty face was mostly red, and she looked a little embarrassed:
"I...I...I'm too lazy. I got up late."
"Haha." Jiang Yan turned around, laughed, raised his hand to rub Lu Lu's messy black hair, and pointed to the red sun on the horizon:
"I got up early."
Then, he immediately added:
"Go and clean up quickly, we're going to have dinner."
"Yeah." Lu Lu nodded slightly, looked up at Jiang Yan, and ran back to the house in small steps.
…
During the meal.
Jiang Yan told Lu Lu about his idea of moving in.
"Right now, we have two choices, the Lan Xin family or Ouyang Xiuya, which one do you think is more suitable?"
Lu Lu didn't respond immediately. She lowered her head, took a mouthful of rice, and then said softly:
"Sir, I think my home is very good."
I don’t want to go anywhere... Well, I also feel comfortable and unrestrained living in my own home... Jiang Yan looked at Lu Lu and spoke softly:
"It's just a temporary stay, it won't be long.
"We are now trying to avoid certain dangers that may or may not come and prevent accidents."
"I know." Lu Lu put the bowl on the table and made no other moves. He seemed to be deep in thought and carefully analyzing which hotel would be more suitable for him to stay at.
After a while, she took a breath quietly and said directly:
"Sir, I think... we should go to Baiyang School. It would be more appropriate to go to Sister Xiuya's place."
Without waiting for Jiang Yan to respond, she immediately gave her own explanation:
"Although Lan Xin and I are more familiar and have a better relationship, the Lan family is an aristocratic family and Lan Xin is just a junior and cannot decide many things. Many decisions require the approval of her brothers and even her father."
In other words, borrowing money from the Lan family may not necessarily lead to success.
Jiang Yan nodded lightly and without asking any more questions, he ate the food in several mouthfuls and put the bowl down:
"Just pack up a little, and let's go visit Ouyang right now."
…
…
Bai Yang School.
In the familiar spacious guest room, Jiang Yan and Ouyang Xiuya sat opposite each other. The tea cups on the table were steaming, and the whole room was filled with elegant fragrance.
"I've been having a lot of trouble these days."
While Jiang Yan was talking, he took out something from his pocket. It was a tree-shaped instrument, exquisite and clear, with a green body. It was densely textured and embellished with runes, exuding a deep and sinister aura.
He rolled the utensil up to Ouyang Xiuya:
"This is what I gained a few days ago. The power is not weak, but it overlaps with my own strength, so it won't be used much."
Seeing this small green tree, Ouyang Xiuya was startled for a moment, then came back to his senses and subconsciously exclaimed:
"Linghuai?"
She was familiar with this instrument and knew that it was the possession of Fu Changshan, a warrior in the Night Locust Talisman Realm. It was a high-level instrument, and its power was not bad!
Ouyang Xiuya kept "Linghuai" floating in the air, and did not accept it immediately, nor did she speak again. She just raised her head and stared at Jiang Yan, her eyes flowing.
"So you know it."
Jiang Yan raised his finger and pointed at this instrument that he got from Fu Changshan and has never been used since. It is only kept inside the lotus space and chuckled:
"This is a gift from Fu Changshan. It truly belongs to me at this moment. I have the right to handle its ownership."
After hearing his words, Ouyang Xiuya's eyes became brighter. She pursed her lips and spoke softly:
"You have much more experience than I do.
"You've grown up like I couldn't have imagined."
She still didn't answer "Linghuai", but her voice was softer, as if mixed with some inexplicable emotion:
"I'm just here to stay for a few days. I really can't accept such a valuable gift from you."
After saying this, she added:
"Even good friends can't do this."
I knew you would respond like this... Jiang Yan took a breath silently and shook his head secretly... Ever since they met, Ouyang Xiuya has been such a person, serious and dignified... He smiled helplessly and said the reasons he had prepared:
"Of course it's more than that. I still have some important questions to ask. In addition, this is also a souvenir..."
Take a souvenir?
Ouyang Xiuya quickly caught the word, her pursed lips immediately calmed down, and before Jiang Yan could finish speaking, she asked directly:
"You want to leave here? Leave Yehuai?"
Her voice was slightly high-pitched in the first sentence, and a little hoarse in the second sentence, both of which were different from usual.
"Yes." Jiang Yan had no intention of concealing this decision. He nodded calmly and whispered:
"I have this idea, but I haven't really decided on the specific time to leave."
Before she could ask, he continued:
"My martial arts has reached its limit now, but in Yehuai, I can't get the complete training method and can't advance to the Talisman Realm.
"Well, I'm also curious about the outside world. I want to see more and walk more."
After Ouyang Xiuya listened quietly, she wanted to ask about the details, but in the end she only said one sentence:
"That's very good."
As the words reverberated, the surroundings became solidified. During this process, Jiang Yan seemed to have noticed some changes in the other party's mood, so he did not speak again and did not disturb the other party for the time being?
After a while, Ouyang Xiuya came back to his senses and remembered what Jiang Yan had asked for advice before, so he asked:
"What answers do you want to know?"
When Jiang Yan heard this, he lowered his head and thought for a while, then said directly:
"You mentioned last time that the Talisman Realm Cultivation Technique is controlled by some large forces. If you want to obtain the cultivation method, you must join these forces, accumulate merit, and accept a certain limit of control.
"I want to know which forces have looser restrictions and looser control in this area?"
"This..." Ouyang Xiuya did not answer immediately, but pondered for a few breaths before thinking carefully:
“Given how precious Talisman Realm Skills are, there are not many shortcuts to truly obtain them.
"For each major force, because their own needs are different, the impact they exert on those who join is also different."
At this point, she paused and continued:
"For example: among the official forces, because they need to deal with many strange events, coordinate the interests of many families and sects, and be responsible for the stability of their own regions, there is a constant demand for warriors.
Under such circumstances, the official family will naturally meet the warriors' promotion requirements and provide Talisman Realm cultivation methods, but on the contrary, this requires a large amount of meritorious contributions that ordinary people cannot imagine to obtain.
As for sectarian families, although they also value their contributions and meritorious service, they pay more attention to "loyalty". Therefore, they will use stricter "control" methods on new warriors. "
